Use this template to cite sources that are not already covered in MLA Citation Maker.

The MLA 8 citation guidelines are somewhat flexible. The goal is for you to think about each source and to apply a few rules to produce a citation that is appropriate for your project. Two people could use the same source but have different citations, and both could be correct. It depends on several factors, including what part of the source is most important to your project and what format you used (in print or online, for example).

Use the basic template below to create a citation for your source. Not all of the boxes will need to be filled in.

(Organization primarily responsible for producing or sponsoring the source or making it available to the public; type publisher's full name, but omit business words and their abbreviations like Company, Incorporated, and Limited; omit publisher's name if it is included in the title field above)
